• Step Two ~ The appeal requires that students complete an academic plan with their major advisor. Academic plans will be developed issued by the Student Success Center. Approval/denial of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal will depend on the students’ academic plan and their ability to meet the terms of Satisfactory Academic Progress. Please note that receiving initial approval of extenuating circumstances does not guarantee that the appeal will be approved. • Students who are placed on “Suspension” as a result of “Incomplete (I)” or missing grades may also appeal using the standard appeal form and procedure. • In order for an appeal to be approved, students must either be able to meet the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress by the end of the next period of enrollment; or the student must be placed on an academic plan that, if followed, will ensure that the student will be able to meet the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress by a specific point in time. • When considering an appeal: o Transfer credit hours that do not fulfill graduation requirements in the student’s current major are excluded from the maximum timeframe calculation. o All attempted credit hours from a prior degree/certificate that can fill graduation requirements (including elective credit hours) in the additional degree/certificate must be counted. All other non-remedial attempted credits that do not fill graduation requirements (including elective credits) in the additional degree/certificate program are excluded from the maximum time frame calculation. • Students who successfully appeal are placed on “Probation” Terms and Definitions Grading Symbols • The following are credits successfully completed for SAP purposes: "A", "B", "C", "D", "P". While successfully completed for SAP purposes, “D” may not fulfill specific program and/or graduation requirements. • The following are NOT credits successfully completed: "F" = Failure, “NC” = No Credit Granted, “NP” = No Pass, "I" = Incomplete, "W" = Withdrawal, “WIP” = Work In Progress. • Cumulative GPA • Includes all coursework receiving a letter grade (including remedial and transfer coursework) a student has taken while at Tougaloo College. This GPA appears on the transcript as “Career Totals”. • Repeat, Incomplete, and Audit Courses • Courses previously passed with a grade of “C”, “B”, or “A” may not be repeated with the assistance of Federal Financial Aid. Courses previously passed with a “D” or courses failed with an “F” or “NC” may be repeated one time with the assistance of Federal Financial Aid ). • Incompletes “I” must be arranged with instructors and must be completed as indicated by the instructor and in accordance with the policy listed in the catalog. • Non-Credit and Remedial Courses 106
• Non-credit courses which do not satisfy graduation requirements in the student’s declared degree/certificate program, are not counted either as attempted or completed credits. • Remedial courses (credit bearing courses numbered below 100) do count as both attempted and completed credits although remedial credits are excluded from the pace of completion and maximum timeframe evaluation. Please Note: Federal Financial Aid recipients may receive aid for a maximum of 30 attempted remedial credit hours. HEALTH SERVICES The Office of Student Affairs and the staff of the George A. and Ruth B. Owens Health and Wellness Center work in concert to provide medical services to students. Medical services are made available to students through a contractual relation with a Community Health Center that leases space in the health and Wellness Center to operate a Medical Clinic. The Medical clinic is open from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. – Monday through Friday. Each student is assigned a “Health Services” fee at the time of registration, which allows access to the medical clinic as often as needed for illness or injury. The staff also provides a variety of scheduled healthful living and preventive health education programs, services and activities for faculty, staff, students and the community at-large. The process for students and staff to receive after-hours medical services is outlined in the Student Handbook under the heading of Health Services. The Medical Center staff includes: • a licensed physician • a registered nurse/family nurse practitioner, and • other health care professionals The Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic will provide emergency treatment and first aid for common, minor, illnesses and accidents that may occur while the student is on campus. The Health Center will provide referrals to off-campus health facilities and physician specialists if the need arises. When a student visits the Health/Wellness Center’ Medical Clinic, the nurse will review the medical record and use the data provided by the medical record in the assessment of the presenting illness. All students who attend Tougaloo College will have a complete and current medical record on file in the Health/Wellness Center’s Medical Clinic prior to registration for classes. A complete and current medical record includes: • Documentation of a current physical examination by a licensed physician documented on Tougaloo College Medical Record Form • Documentation of current immunizations for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella • Documentation of tetanus booster • Documentation of current T.B.
